Hi,

I've been away from the games for awhile and just discovered The Four Tubes and now find I am totally stuck. I have gone down all four "tubes", have a purple and green key but no way to get to the doors at the very top. I can get to the treasure but once at the bottom and past the last save, I can't get back up again. Any clue to moving forward?

Hi zipwin,

I'd really like to help you.... but, as Rose has correctly pointed out, we need to know exactly in which room you are.
At the moment I simply can't "read" your description correctly.....

(While playing, press cmd-D  and in the upper left corner of the screen you'll see the room number....  in case you didn't know!).

I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly ?!?

ALL doors at the beginning (top) of THE FOUR TUBES are equally important.....  none of them is only "for show".

In fact, I can't think of a single door in the whole mansion, that is not as important as all others.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but the special "feature" of The Four Tubes is that the player can choose FREELY which tube he wants to visit first..... so each game is a little different....  and therefore ALL doors are equally important !

In fact the mansion is constructed in such a way, that - no matter what you do first (and when) - you will always be guided through the rest of the mansion.

As for your 2nmd question..... if I should guess what you mean... yes - to a certzain extent backtracking is possible (at least to where I think you want to go back to).

(Sorry for being so cryptic, but I don't want to spoil it for others.)
